Think of the times....THEN there was no electronic media, only telephones and mail. NOW there are so many ways to communicate off-year: teleconference, face-to-face Conference, e-mail, texts, tweets, online voting and surveys, etc.
The need to gather chapters from coast-to -coast to do business, propose changes, vote on policy, etc can be done without a physical gathering. It misses the pomp and decorum but is efficient and inexpensive.
